  If J R Brown became the next WT Dictator, say in the similar manner as the J F Rutherford did.
  That is by careful legal maneuvers and key placement of men that will support you.

  How would the Wt rewrite their history making it look like the struggle JR Brown had to get there had Jehovah’s backing.
  Any who would oppose him would be painted in the Wt as wicked, deceitful men and kicked out side of Jehovah’s organization.
  It’s funny to read the WT slanted take on history that makes them always come out on top as the good guys and any who don’t go along with the Organization as the wicked ones agents.

  Any what caused me to think of this were the similarities in the names and professions of JFR and JRB.

  D Wiltshire,

  This is the first I had heard of JR Brown being thought of as an heir to the WT throne. Perhaps I am out of the loop, or is this mere speculation?

  It would be interesting, if it were true.

  However, for Judge Rutherford to pull off his coup, the former president-for-life (Russell) had to buy the farm.

  So which of the 3 new WT Corporations would JR Brown need to conquer to become the "next WT dictator"? Is such a thing even possible, now that the power is spread thin between these corporations?

  Is JR Brown shooting for Don Adams' perch atop the publishing corp.?

  Inquiring minds want to know.

  Gopher,

  No I'm not in some loop of info.
  I was just thinking of a senerio of my own invention, when noticing the similar back rounds and how the WT is now run by lawyers.

  Rumor has it that Don isn't the one that Ted Jarecz is the honcho.

  But you raise an interesting question about J.R. Brown. It would seem that he is getting his name out there an awful lot lately. Would the power and recognition be going to his head? Could he put himself in a position of power by manuvering the legal department to start making policy in such a way as to negate the service department and writing departments?

  hmmm...

  Do you feel that JR Brown would take the Watchtower to a new direction? New doctrine's etc.? or would he just stick with the old doctrines and hide their questionable past?
